I didn't change my major, but changed my mind slightly. I went to college absolutely sure I was going to be a journalist; in fact I chose BU's journalism school over Syracuse because I thought I'd rather be a journalist in the Boston area than in upstate NY.
Early in college I decided I wanted to be a lawyer, so I added history as a major to give myself a more complete educational experience (and because with AP credits I would have graduated in 2 years). I ended up working in media relations before law school, and the experience getting my history degree (specifically the research and writing) has helped in law school, so it all worked out.
